CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedVersions of UAC prior to 3.3.0 are vulnerable to a command injection flaw due to improper handling of usernames and home directories from /etc/passwd in the parse_artifact.sh script. This vulnerability allows attackers to inject shell metacharacters, potentially executing arbitrary commands on the host system. Organizations using UAC for artifact collection should prioritize patching to mitigate the risk of exploitation.

Original NVD Description
UAC (Unix-like Artifacts Collector) versions prior to 3.3.0 contain a command injection vulnerability in the user substitution logic within parse_artifact.sh where usernames and home directories from /etc/passwd are substituted directly into command strings without escaping before execution via eval. Attackers can inject shell metacharacters such as command substitution syntax or semicolons through crafted usernames or home directory paths in /etc/passwd entries to execute arbitrary commands on the analyst's host system.
